4. Use both hands to disconnect the connector. Hold one side of the
connector with one hand and use two fingers of your other hand to turn
the connector. Make sure you hold the plastic part and not the hose.
IMPORTANT: Do not press the two release buttons if the hose is
disconnected. The connector can then shoot back into the system!
5. Remove the transparent liquid reservoir and rinse the hose with alcohol or
hot water with detergent. Rinse thoroughly to remove all food and liquid
residue. After cleaning, gently sling the hose to remove any remaining
water or alcohol. Note, the hose does not need to be 100% free of water
before using it again. Quva is designed to withstand small amounts of
liquid entering the system.
6. Reconnect the hose by sliding the connectors back in place. Make sure
that the side of the connector that has the large protrusion is slid back
into the connector side with the large cavity. It will only fit in one direction
and excess force should not be applied.
7. Pull out the vacuum head once more and then gently release it while
pushing down on the two "release" buttons inside the Quva pop-up unit.
Spare hose with vacuumheads are available online at the Quva
webshop for most countries or via our distribution partners in some
countries. Visit www.quvaproducts.com to find out where to buy.
Placing a new vacuum hose and vacuum head is done by following
steps 1 till 4 of this chapter. The new hose and vacuum head is placed
by following step 6 and 7.
Removing water from the appliance
In the event that liquid enters the appliance, it will be collected in the drip
tray. There are two possible causes for liquid penetration:
1. Liquid has entered the system via the hose;
2. Liquid has been spilled over the appliance and some of it passed through
the seal.
When a small amount of liquid is collected in the drip tray, it will dry up over
time. Alternatively, if a considerable amount of liquid is collected in the drip
tray, it should be removed. The drip tray is only accessible under the kitchen
counter, where the Quva appliance is anchored. To empty the drip tray, slide
it horizontally, and detach and empty it prior to cleaning it and returning it
to the Quva housing.
